Steps:
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with aluminum foil and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the cereal with 1 bag marshmallows in a large bowl; set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the 3 remaining bags of marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are fully melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Fold half the cereal mixture into the melted marshmallows until well-coated; fold in the remaining cereal mixture.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan. Spray another piece of foil with cooking spray and use it to cover the mixture, pressing gently on the foil to evenly spread the mixture out, getting it evenly into the corners and flattening the top (you can dome the top slightly if you have extra mixture). Place in the refrigerator to set, around 1 hour. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve. Leftovers keep in an airtight container at room temperature, 2 days; or wrap in a freezer bag and freeze.

Steps:
- Make the salted caramel sauce: In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, stir together the sugar, water, and salt until no clumps remain, brushing any sugar granules from the sides of the pot. Turn the heat to medium and cook the sugar mixture without stirring until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C) and the color turns light amber brown, 10-15 minutes.
- Gently whisk in 1 piece of butter at a time until melted and incorporated.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent the caramel from overflowing. Use caution as the mixture bubbles. Let the sauce cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- Make the crispy rice treats: Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.
- With a rubber spatula, stir in the marshmallows until completely melted. Stir in the vanilla. Turn off the heat, add the puffed rice cereal, and stir until well coated.
- Spread half of the crispy rice mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Spread the salted caramel sauce evenly over the first layer of crispy rice treats and sprinkle with the flaky sea salt. Return the pan to the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Spread the rest of the crispy rice mixture evenly over the caramel sauce. (If the crispy rice mixture solidifies too much to spread, place the pot in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 5 minutes to soften). Let the treats cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Once cooled, invert the treats onto a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Take a pan or baking dish approximately 13x 9 x2 inch size.
- Lay aluminum foil (or parchment paper or waxed paper) across your pan leaving the ends folded over the edges to to work as handles for when removing your crispy rice cereal treats when finished.
- Spray inside pan (including lining) with non-fat cooking spray.
- Use a large heavy saucepan to melt the butter over LOW HEAT for 2 minutes.
- Add half of the marshmallows and stir constantly over LOW HEAT to melt them. Be careful not to let them stick or burn to the bottom of the pan. It is essential that you do not rush this step!
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add to the pan half of the crispy rice cereal, then the other half of the marshmallows, and finally the other half of the crispy rice cereal.
- Stir gently but quickly with buttered or silicone spatula.
- Pour crispy rice mixture into prepared pan.
- Using waxed paper or buttered spatula or disposal gloves sprayed with cooking spray, firmly press the hot cookie mixture into the pan (the gloves truly work the best).
- Let crispy rice cereal mixutre cool until firm (approximately 45 minutes).
- Turn treats out of pan, peel off foil/paper and cut into squares.
- Store in an airtight container.
- TIp: Although I substitute low-fat and low-calorie products for almost everything that I make, this dish definitely turns out best using real butter, and premium quality marshmallows.
- Tip: If fruit flavored is not your thing, but chocolate and/or peanut butter is, you can substitute the fruit flavored marshmallows with plain mini-marshmallows and then add 3/4 cup of smooth peanut butter and/or 3/4 cups of chocolate chips when adding the second half of the marshmallows.
- Tip To speed up cooling place in freezer 15 minutes.
- Tip: Will last 2 days at room temperature or 6 weeks in the freezer.

CRISPY RICE BASEBALL TREATS
Steps:
- Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, line the bottom with parchment paper and butter the parchment.
- Put the marshmallows and butter in a large pot and warm over medium heat, stirring, until completely melted. Add the rice cereal and stir until completely coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Lightly oil your hands or a little square of plastic wrap and press and smooth the cereal evenly into the dish. Cool until set, but not totally dry, about 30 minutes.
- Lightly oil a sheet of parchment paper and turn the block of crispy treats out onto it. Oil a baseball glove-shaped cookie cutter (about 4 inches wide) and cut out 6 baseball gloves, oiling the cookie cutter between each. Gather some of the scraps and make 6 baseballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Put the candy melts in a small bowl and melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals at 30-percent power until thoroughly melted and smooth. Add the shortening (or paramount crystals) a little bit at a time until slightly thinned to a nice coating consistency.
- Coat the balls in the candy melts and let stand until completely set, about 20 minutes.
- Fit a #2 or 3 pastry tip into a small pastry bag and fill the bag with the red decorating icing. Pipe a red line in an elongated semicircle shape similar to the lines of a baseball onto each ball. Then pipe small, crosswise lines along the semicircle to represent the stitching on a baseball.
- Dab a little of the candy melt on the bottom of the balls, then press them lightly into the center of the gloves. Let stand until dry and set.

Steps:
- Line a 9x9 square pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside. In a large pan, combine coconut oil and marshmallows over medium heat until completely melted. This should take 4-5 minutes and make sure to stir constantly so the bottom doesn't burn. Once mixture is smooth, add the rice krispies and mix until evenly coated. Pour into prepare pan and let cool for about an hour. Cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows. Fresh marshmallows will melt more evenly and smoothly than old marshmallows.
- Do not overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will make the rice crispy treats tough and chewy.
- Add the melted marshmallows to the rice cereal slowly. This will help to prevent the marshmallows from clumping together.
- Stir the marshmallows and rice cereal until they are well combined. Make sure that there are no streaks of marshmallow or rice cereal.
- Press the rice crispy treats firmly into a pan. This will help to keep them from crumbling.
- Let the rice crispy treats cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the knife.
- Store the rice crispy treats in an airtight container. This will help to keep them fresh.
Conclusion:
Rice crispy treats are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying snack that is perfect for any occasion.
